Trying to decide what it’s supposed to mean. The Sounders are sponsored by Xbox (Nintendo competitor based in Redmond, WA), but the home of Nintendo of America is also in Redmond, WA. (The founder of Nintendo owns the Mariners.) So as a statement about sponsorship it’s a little murky.

the Mario was the wrong Mario. rofl, if you’re gonna do a video game tifo get the characters right. This display would have deserved the title “AMAZING” if instead of a “fireball” there were a bundle of flares. And for the turtle w/Sounders crest to be doused in gasoline and lit on fire at the end.

I like it and I am a Sounder’s fan, but I fail to see how the rest of us MLS fans without so much time on our hands will need to be like this for MLS to be successful.
The ECS seems to be doing ok in Sounder land without being nearly that complicated.
